Astro Van 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Paint is peeling and cracking on my 1997 Chevrolet Astro. While under warrenty the roof was repainted. Soon it started to crack but dealer would not help. As a owner of several GM vehicles I feel my van should be repainted for free since this is a known defect of GM. All I am asking for is for GM to pay to have my van fully repainted. Thank you and look forward to hearing from you. Anthony O. hooper.
